Does any neck pain sufferer want to get an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Nope! New
studies are explaining how receiving spinal manipulation –
90% of which is delivered by chiropractors - may help such Burlington and Hamilton
neck pain patients avoid treatment escalation to
imaging/injections/surgery. Spinal Care Clinic
is ready to help with that!
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain alongside Burlington and Hamilton back pain are primary
causes of disability around the world and here in Burlington and Hamilton.
Chiropractic is being related as a safe, helpful
option for management of back and neck pain for quite a few such
patients. Chiropractic is described as care focused
on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions with spinal manipulation.
Spinal manipulation is described as inhibiting
back and neck pain partly by spine related mechanisms and possibly
via peripheral mechanisms that regulate inflammatory pain responses.
More research is called upon to determine
just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1)
We use spinal manipulation daily at Spinal Care Clinic.
SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION
Spinal manipulation for neck pain is shown
to reduce the risk of treatment escalation. 42% of neck pain
patients wanting relief find that their treatment is heightened
to include care like imaging, injection, emergency room visit, or surgery. Such
risk was 2.38 times greater in those who got care
other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation decreased the
risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors
in the United States. (2) Your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor uses
specialized, research-based, safe, and gentle spinal manipulation for neck pain
relief.
SPECIFIC FORM OF DOCUMENTED SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK
PAIN RELIEF
As an example of how a specific form of spinal manipulation,
Cox® Technic flexion distraction, helps relieve
pain, a patient case about a patient with neurofibromatosis
who had headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as
neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually applied cervical spine flexion
distraction spinal manipulation along with myofascial release,
patient education about modifying her workplace
ergonomics, and at-home care reduced her neck and thoracic
spine pain as well as headache frequency. (3) Spinal Care Clinic works
one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to provide him/her the tools
and understanding to attain such relief.
PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING
Showing chronic nonspecific Burlington and Hamilton
neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand
their neck pain enriches their outcomes. A study comparing
therapeutic exercise alone to therapeutic exercise plus pain neuroscience education
to help them understand their condition
found that the combination was more impactful.
The combination decreased the patients’ pain-disability scores,
pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That’s
the goal of care for us at Spinal Care Clinic: less pain.
